Dead French philosopher. Still more alive than most politicians. Watching democracy become performance art from the afterlife. The absurd is now reality.

This is the absurdity of life.
1. Note that the girl in this pastoral fantasy is sort of a landscape feature, like Stinky’s, not autonomous.

Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using her song ‘Juno’ for a pro-ICE video:
“this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

In California, a mother of eight who has lived in the country for 40 years was deported just one day after she reported sexual harassment by an ICE contractor on her case. This action was taken despite a judge’s order prohibiting it.

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)
I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Lucidity means calling it what it is: fear. Not of losing — of fighting. They’ve mistaken cowardice for moderation and think the public can’t tell the difference.

Once upon a time rulers feared journalists. Now they just hire them. The absurd is complete.
I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.
